Fourth Whisper

---You've got to be kidding me. This is...this is just too much! The things in this place are just too expensive.

[sigh] It's not like I haven't been in this situation before.

Attention, City.

My name is Chidori Kaname, and I'm a 17-year-old normal high school student from Tokyo. I'm currently looking for a job and I'm willing to do anything that is

Any luck on the job front then?

[am_not_an_angel]

Hmm, I got a baby-sitting job.

[jumbo_gal]

Oh, that's good. The money should help, though I do hope you enjoy it too. Having to work somewhere you hate sucks.

[am_not_an_angel]

I think I can handle it. The problem is that I have to put up with an idiot as well.

[jumbo_gal]

Oh good then.

An idiot huh? What sort, they come in variety.

[am_not_an_angel]

The type that has a severe case of paranoia and thinks everyone is a potential suicide bomber.

[jumbo_gal]

Well, that's...different, at least from my definition.

[am_not_an_angel]

It's so ridiculous! He keeps following me around like a stalker and draws his gun at every person who threatens me. The worst part of it is I'm completely and utterly stuck with him! It was flattering sometimes, but most of the time it's just really stupid...and very embarassing.

[jumbo_gal]

He follows you with a gun?!! What the hell...isn't there lawas against that?! And I thought Otani was irritating...

[am_not_an_angel]

I think he has a collection of them. He pulls up the military card...or the mercenary--he thinks he has the right to carry them.

[jumbo_gal]

He's a mercenary?! Geez, I though that sort of stuff you only read about in manga...

I hope he doesn't bother you in your job.

[am_not_an_angel]

Oh god, he's just really--augh! He keeps getting on my nerves!

Are you kidding me? He thinks the kid I'm going to watch has bombs strapped on his body and will try to kill me!

[jumbo_gal]

Ah, believe me I know that feeling well.

Okay...was he dropped on his head as a child maybe? That does seem extreme.

Oh, on the job thing, I wanted to tell you something, though it's not definite just yet.

[am_not_an_angel]

Really? You had that experience too?

I think that's likely...or he was hit in the head. He was very young when he started.

Hmm? What is it?

[jumbo_gal]

Well, not with a military idiot, but an idiot none the less.

Oh, I don't whether to feel sorry for him or be scared of him.

Well, it's not for sure yet, and I know you'll be doing this babysitting stuff in the evening, but, the way things are going, I don't how much more I can stand longer I'll be at my current job, and I was thinking of trying to put up my own business.

If that works out, you could come work with me, if it happens, if you like.

[am_not_an_angel]

Oh...I feel sorry for you too.

Why not? Go for it. I'd be happy to work with you.
